Former New York EMTs Sentenced for Arson
BUFFALO, N.Y. - Two former emergency medical technicians for an ambulance service have been sentenced for setting fires in Buffalo while on duty.
Jonathan Safe of West Seneca was sentenced Tuesday to up to three years in prison after admitting he started fires at two vacant houses last May. The 20-year-old former volunteer firefighter pleaded guilty in December to felony arson and attempted arson charges.
His EMT partner at the time, 22-year-old Lindsey Sgro (skroh) of Cheektowaga (cheek-tuh-WAH'-guh) was sentenced to five years probation after she admitted to starting the first fire with Safe.
Safe and Sgro were working for Rural/Metro Corp. at the time they set the fires.
Prosecutors say the two EMTs torched the houses in attempt to look like heroes by alerting neighbors.
